Simple rclone.conf for MEGA and Yandex without obfuscation or encryption (manual setup)

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I want to set up Rclone with both MEGA and Yandex Disk, but I don’t want to use rclone config. I just want a simple rclone.conf that I can write manually, without obfuscation or encryption.

Could someone show me what the file should look like?

And also I have added the command i want to use after configuring. Please check if there is any mistake.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.60.1-DEV

  • os/version: debian 13.1 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 6.12.43+deb13-amd64 (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.23.2
  • go/linking: dynamic
  • go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Mega and Yandex.Disk

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

<!-- 
rclone sync "/media/ismail/SSDWorking/_Working" mega:"_WorkingSync"
# Make a timestamped backup folder
TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
rclone copy "/media/ismail/SSDWorking/_Working" mega:"_WorkingBackups/$TIMESTAMP"
rclone delete --min-age 3d mega:"_WorkingBackups" --rmdirs

rclone sync "/media/ismail/SSDWorking/_Working" yandex:"_WorkingSync"
# Make a timestamped backup folder
-->

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

It is currently enpty

Then you can find all details in docs:

I would recommend to use rclone config at least once anyway. Then you can have a look at rclone.conf and see what it is needed.

welcome to the forum,

that version is many years old, dev version from an out of date repository.
can rclone selfupdate or uninstall and https://rclone.org/install/#script-installation


yandex requires a token. afiak, must use rclone config


run all the commands with something like
--dry-run --log-level=DEBUG --log-file=~/path/to/rclone.log


check out --backup-dir
